Several times a day, if not several times an hour, I see people using "sane" as some sort of synonym for ethical and "insane" as some sort of synonym for unethical.
Think of what you're saying here - instead of grappling with the idea that abled people can do harmful and/or evil things, the moment some threshhold of evil is passed, you simply label them "insane".
This equates disability with evil, and equates being abled with virtue. It's a rhetorical frame to keep you comfortable. #Ableism

To the leftists who refuse to stop discriminating against the mentally disabled
<Excerpt 2/3>
Dictatorships and authoritarianism are not practiced by "crazy" people. They are frightening because they are exercised by sane people. Those judged "insane" by those in power are pushed to the margins of society, stripped of their dignity, and even killed.

"You shouldn't fat shame because you don't know what that person has been through."
No, you shouldn't fat shame because fat shaming is wrong, period. It doesn't matter if the person went through hard times or not.

If you’re upset and trying to guilt people of color for rightfully pointing out that nobody gave a shit until it happened to a white lady, maybe sit down and shut the fuck up

Reminder for people running conventions: 90% mask usage is a failing grade. 95% mask usage is a failing grade. Spaces are not safe for the disabled or chronically ill unless every single person in the building is masked and aware of the dangers of serious illness such as COVID to everyone, but especially the chronic illness affected community

re: self-harm mention
to be clear, giving out masks and tests at an event that isn't masking and testing required is like handing out free "I like Jews!" pins outside an event that you're allowing Nazis into.
it's a purely performative measure designed to assuage attendees' and organizers' fragile egos. it's a thing that minimizers can point to and say, "see, we acknowledge that COVID exists!" all while continuing to rawdog CO2-saturated air that people cough into unmasked.
if you cared about COVID, you'd make masking and testing mandatory, and tell people that they'll be thrown out of the event if they unmask indoors.

If you are running a conference or expo in this day and age without 100% enforced masking and COVID testing, you are openly stating your hatred of the disabled, no matter how much you might think you're an ally, you're not
CW: suicide, big conference thing
@calisti mostly just lashing out in anger at a subculture that I don't belong to because of the stereotype of trans girl hacker I don't fit and resent because of it. I'm also not impressed that bullies were allowed to attend at all for this to happen, regardless of how directly involved the organisers were. And the lack of mandatory full time masking at an event that large

self-harm mention
so, apparently, in addition to the "no COVID precautions" thing, and the "segregated trans bathrooms" thing, #39c3 also has a culture of bullying "weird" trans people into killing themselves
fucking lovely
CW: suicide, big conference thing
I don't know how to mourn someone I never knew but god I hope she's at rest now, I'm so sad that this keeps happening because as trans girls we're expendable, abusable fuck dolls for everyone else, trans girl refuse to be your sex toy? Say something you don't like? It's fine, just bully and ostracise her until she jumps off a bridge and say something vague about suicide hotlines that will treat us as men
CW: suicide, big conference thing
I wish I could say I'm shocked that a trans girl committed suicide because of bullying endorsed and enabled at #39c3 but it's not even mild surprise, of course these cliquey in groups that refuse COVID measures and welcome abusers would let this happen

hey folks, i know the cost of living crisis is hitting everyone right now, but we're hurting pretty bad, just having the money to spend on food and little luxuries is hard on a single disability benefit, if anyone has anything to spare, we could really do with it https://gofund.me/580dbcb4 #mutualaid #disabled
